KLEIN, 1775 37 



Ludwig Statius Miiller of Erlangen, in 1776. This edition in its Suppie- 

 ment contains a few new specific names but no new genera, so far as 

 noticed.* 



The reference to "Richter," refers apparently to a work published at 

 Leipzig, in 1754, by J. G. O. Richter, entitled "Ichthyotheologie, oder 

 Versuch die Menschen aus Betrachtung der Fische zu Bewunderung des 

 Schopfers su fiihren." This we have not seen, but quote the title from 

 Bosgoed. The same work appears in Dutch, in 1768, as "Godleerende 

 Vischkunde." 



The names in the "Gesellschaft Schauplatz" are all of doubtful eligi- 

 bility, because not adopting the Linncean Code as to species, and possibly 

 because published in an anonymous dictionary. 



Conger Klein, I, 22, 1775 ; type Muilena conger L. "Conger pinna 

 membranacea" Klein. 

 A synonym of Conger Houttuyn. 

 Enchelyopus Klein, I, 32, 1775 ; type Trichiurus lepturus L. "En- 

 chelyopus capite producto serpentino" Klein. 

 A synonym of Trichiurus L., not Enchelyopus Gronow. 

 Brama Klein, I, 61, 932, 1775; type Cyprinus brama L. "Brama 

 PRiMi RADIO pinn^ dorsalis simplici" Klein. 

 Brama, if accepted, replaces Abramis Cuvier, and the marine genus now called 

 Brama would take the name of Lepodus Rafinesque. 



Galeus Klein, I, 70, 1775 ; type Squalus galeus L. "Galeus rostri 



EXTREMA PARTE PELLUCIDA" Klein. 

 Equivalent to Galeorhinus Blainville, 1816 = Galeus Cuvier, 1817, not Galeus 

 Valmont, 1768, nor of Rafinesque, 1810. 



Trutta Klein, I, 115, 1775; type Salmo trutta L. "Trutta tota 

 argentea" Klein. 

 A synonym of Trutta L. 

 Leuciscus Klein, I, 172, 1775 ; type Cyprinus leuciscus L. "Leuciscus 

 SUPRA linea lateralis" Klein. 

 Leuciscus Klein would replace Leuciscus Cuvier, Rafinesque, Agassiz, for 

 the same group. 



Pelamys Klein, I, 176, 1775 ; type Scomber scombrus L. "Pelamys 

 CORPORE cASTiGATo" Klein, the "makarel" of Willughby. 

 The genus, based on the tunnies and the mackerels, is exactly coterminous 

 with Scomber L. If regarded as eligible, the genus of snakes, Pelamys Daudin, 

 must receive a new name.
